i like the irony that both XBOX360 and november are the same length in characters when u put in a space

and the enter field on the main page is 8 characters

XBOX 360 = 8
NOVEMBER = 8
ourcolony net field = 8

What if the 113 is Jan. 13th, instead of Nov. 3rd? Is there any significance to Jan. 13th?

i think we should examine the gears of war reward pic, i don't see why there would be an inconsistency and have a letter in a challenge pic rather than a reward pic. then again...its hard to deny the T, and she's definitely looking straight at it.





anyways, i can see the possible Z in the GoW pic, and i guess this is sort of a strech but there's an E on his arm.

further speculation:

if you take into account the E on his arm, this would get rid of the E we're getting from the Plant X pic, and if we temporarily disregard the T and X/Y, we would definitely get 3SIXZERO

So far, I have the following as potential numbers/letters from the reward pics but I am not 100% sure of the order we got them in, but it is pretty close:

1 - controller pic 1
1 - controller pic 2
3 - Car headlight pic
divide symbol - oblique angle shot of HD side of Xbox 360
7 & 3 or sigma - mem card pic
S - 'S' shaped pic (Forza?)
I - 'I' shaped pic (Kameo?)
X - 'X' shaped pic (new XBL gamer card interface
Z - Gears of War pic
O or 0 - Xbox 360 startup screen
R (possibly A) - custom faceplates pic
O - PDZero pic

sory to post again, that was me up there btw, but having the Z and E in that gears of war picture would be perfect. the only thing i'm worried abot is that those 2 are much less obviously "inserted" in the image, but it might just be that way on purpose.

I think that the console MIGHT be able to change color. not that you have to change it physically, but maybe you can set the color in an option on the system and set the color you want it to be. thats why some places its either black, white. or silver. then that would mean that the color doesnt matter. is that too far fetched?

This is random but i was bored so here - I noticed you had a sigma there as a possible sign in a reward pic so i worked out the standard deviation and mean of all the numbers there
S.D = 2.44
Mean = 4.6
Probs absolutly no use but no harm in thowing out an idea?!

Guess it is also possible that it is a W instead, but so far I think sigma is the closest fit. Whatever it is, when you zoom into it, it was DEFINITELY photoshopped in. The 7 is much less obvious.

Although "everything has meaning" it's wierd that in some pictures the letters or numbers are clearly visable, and in others you have to guess, based on an assumption. Going further, and thereby eliminating the pics that don't clearly have something in them, you get the following:

1 - controller pic 1
1 - controller pic 2
3 - Car headlight pic
3 - mem card pic
S - 'S' shaped pic (Forza?)
I - 'I' shaped pic (Kameo?)
X - 'X' shaped pic (new XBL gamer card interface
0 - PDZero pic

which is 8 digets.

Anyways, we'll probebly have to wait till the clock runs out have the change to input it.

Update:

1 - controller pic 1
1 - controller pic 2
3 - Car headlight pic
divide symbol - oblique angle shot of HD side of Xbox 360
7 - mem card pic
3, sigma, or W - mem card pic
S - 'S' shaped pic (Forza?)
I - 'I' shaped pic (Kameo?)
X - 'X' shaped pic (new XBL gamer card interface
1, Z or N, possibly E and O - Gears of War pic
O or 0 - Xbox 360 startup screen
R (possibly A) - custom faceplates pic
O - PDZero pic

Edit: Someone at TXB drew lines around the gun in the GoW pic and it definitely could be a '1'.

Yeah, very possibly. If you have not seen the picture, here is the link:

http://forum.teamxbox.com/showpost.php?p=5255181&postcount=131

The part that leads me to consider this is the fact that the entire rest of the image has been darkened out on purpose. The only parts remaining fit neatly into this shape, so it is a possibility.
